Easy Chicken Satay Peanut Curry

Submitted by amanda l b

"This is a really easy recipe and very tasty. It's written for a microwave, but ingredients can be easily cooked in a saucepan on the stove. Use light peanut butter for a calorie reduced version and a spray cooking oil rather than the butter."

This is SO EASY! I agree with other comments, though, definitely needed to increase chicken cooking time. You must have a powerful microwave.

YUM! This was delicious AND easy! My ?something spicy? was red pepper flakes. I doubled the recipe, except for the onion, and had to increase the cook time for 2 boneless/skinless chicken breasts to 12 minutes. (I'm not sure how 2 minutes is enough even for just 1 piece of chicken.) At any rate, making it in the microwave worked great. I think next time I will reduce the chicken stock a bit and add some coconut milk, and also stir-fry some veggies to round out the meal. Excellent recipe ! thanks for posting!

I made this on the stove-top using pork instead of chicken, and it came out wonderfully. I browned some cubed pork in a pan with the onion and a little peanut oil, then whisked the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and added it to the pan. Brought it to the boil, then let it simmer away until the sauce had reduced and was thick and tasty. Lovely flavour, though I personally found it a bit salty and will use a salt-reduced stock or half stock - half water next time. So quick and easy! Thanks!

This is really a quick and easy curry meal especially for a Friday night's meal. I put the rice and then cooked the curry. Thank you a very nice and easy dinner.
